高职英语专业学生写作元认知策略的因子分析

Factor Analysis of Writing Metacognitive Strategies of Higher Vocational Students

以122名高职英语专业学生为研究对象,采用问卷调查的方法调查高职英语专业学生英语写作元认知策略使用情况。探索性因子分析得出5个写作元认知策略因子:计划与方法探索、背记并理解、选择注意、自我监控和自我评价。描述性统计分析结果显示这5项策略的均值介于2.7008-3.2799之间,处于"使用情况一般"的范畴之内,说明高职英语专业学生不善于使用写作元认知策略来提高自身英语写作的水平和效果。

The present study is based on a questionnaire investigation with 122 English majors in one of the higher technical colleges on their use of writing metacognitive strategies. Five factors have been generated through an exploratory factor analysis： planning and writing methods exploration, memorizing and understanding, selective attention, self-monitoring and self-evaluation. A descriptive statistical analysis shows that the means of these five strategies are from 2.7008 to 3.2799, which falls into the category of ＂Not Quiet Often Used＂, which means the students are not good at using writing meta-cognitive strategies to improve their English writing level and effect.
